Hank Caruso
|
Hank Caruso is an aerospace mechanical engineer for Westinghouse in Baltimore, Maryland, where radars and electronic countermeasure pods are built for the F-16. His first "aerocature" appeared in Naval Aviation News in 1979. His work has since been published in Approach, Naval Institute Proceedings, and Smithsonian Air & Space as well as on numerous squadron patches and logos. Diamonds and Thrust was originally done for the cover of Caruso’s 1993 aerocatures calendar. He has published calendars of his work every year since 1982. Sea Birds, a collection of Caruso’s naval aviation art in book form, will be published in October 1995 by Howell Press. Caruso did Viper Driver when the F-16 was fairly new and was informally called the Viper, a name still used by many pilots today. "The image of a snake was really fun to play with," Caruso recalls. "Trying to put a snake in the cockpit as a pilot was also a real challenge. The hardest part at the time was trying to find a picture of the F-16’s unique control stick."
